How to Convert Kilopascals to Bars
To convert a measurement in kilopascals to a measurement in bars, divide the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 100 kilopascals/bar.
Since one bar is equal to 100 kilopascals, you can use this simple formula to convert:
bars = kilopascals ÷ 100
The pressure in bars is equal to the pressure in kilopascals divided by 100.
For example, here's how to convert 5 kilopascals to bars using the formula above.
bars = (5 kPa ÷ 100) = 0.05 bar
Kilopascals and bars are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Kilopascal?
The kilopascal is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI derived unit for pressure. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilopascals can be abbreviated as kPa; for example, 1 kilopascal can be written as 1 kPa.

What Is a Bar?
The bar is equal to 100,000 pascals, which are defined as the pressure of one newton per square meter. One bar is just less than the average atmospheric pressure.
The bar is a non-SI metric unit for pressure. Bars can be abbreviated as bar; for example, 1 bar can be written as 1 bar.
